Search and rescue dog van
Hi all.
This will be topic my Vw Caddy modification Search and rescue dog van. I belong to a local volunteer search and rescue dog group.
At the back comes the false floor and underneath false floor comes a storage compartment. Behind sliding door become cage for the dog.
The project is progressing slowly due to the winter and the lack of a garage.
I got the carpet and side upholstery installed.

8mm holes is too small for M6 rivet nut and too big for M5 so they need to drill 9,5mm.

Loki testing new cage. At first Loki was a little confused but after noticing that he can see me while driving seemed quite satisfied. During the exercises, one "lost" person was found in the tractor tire.

Last weekend I also change oil and filter. Change the service interval fix 15000km/1y. Check air filter and fresh air filter.

Re: Search and rescue dog van
Might wanna look into door sound insulation at least. When investing into new speakers I would say it makes a meaningful difference by cutting vibrations there.

Re: Search and rescue dog van
Yes I now that. That will be part two at spring, now there is too cold and it's too big risk that sound insulation will not stick properly.

Few cover piece made for hiding old rived holes. Now the roof panel looks horrible. Dog gage need also carpet but that need to whait spring also.

Carpet installed at dog gage. I am not 100% pleased whit gage door. In winter gage don't need door but at summer door is handy I can keep car doors open to manage inside temperature.

Re: Search and rescue dog van
New to me summer wheels. In my mind I make good deal for these 260€ for tires and rims. Tires have 5-6mm tread and rims are very good contition. Tires/rims are only 2 years old and because Finland you need to use winter tires practicaly 1 year use only.
